Thus, we must strike a balance between sending requests and the feeling of realtime. Use the following rules when creating realtime solutions.
-1. The server will tell you how much to poll by sending `X-Poll-Interval` in the header. Use that as your polling interval. This way it is easy for system administrators to change the polling rate. A `X-Poll-Interval: -1` means disabled polling, and this must be implemented.
